Unhappy Here we go again?

I spent three weeks in South Korea in 1966. Temporary duty, TDY at the Eighth Army Headquarters in Seoul. I had the opportunity to spend a good bit of my short time there with Koreans in the headquarters building and naturally we talked about the short but vicious war the South Koreans had with the North Koreans and the subsiquent division of the country. The people that I spoke with seemed to think that the war with the communist of the North were just hibernating, it hadn't ended yet. The country was still at war.
In Korea my commanding officer was British and I was not in the United States Army, I was assigned to United Nations Forces and it was the United Nations that negotiated the truce between the North and the South but today the North is producing television advertisments that show North Korean airplanes attacking Americans in America. Why?
America's already spread thin with its armed forces are "defending" in the Middle East. We are NOT fighting to win, we're fighting to hold ground and are we going to do the same again in South Korea soon when North Korea has already declared its intensions and advertised who their enemy is? Just look at the Stars and Stripes in their advertisments.
